Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been making progress with his rehab and looked good in an individual workout on Friday.

Porzingis will remain sidelined until at least mid-February, when he will be re-evaluated by the New York medical staff. However, coach David Fizdale said that KP is "progressing, and I think he’s in a really good place right now." Fizdale added: "We’re still being cautious, I would say, but at the same time just pushing, getting to the next level, jumping and moving, his strides and all of that stuff. … He’s in a really, a great groove right now with his workouts and his development."

According to Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer, the Spurs have "significant interest" in Kristaps Porzingis.

While we've already many reports of other teams interested in signing Porzinigs and will see more between now and July, the reality is that he is a restricted free agent. As a result, the Knicks are in the driver's seat and can match any offer he receives this summer. It remains unlikely KP plays for any team other than the Knicks in the near future. Jan 8 - 1:19 PM

Knicks' president Steve Mills stated during a recent interview that Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is still "a ways away" from getting back to the court.

"We'd love to see him play, but we also acknowledge that he is a really, really important part of the long-term future of this franchise," Mills said. "And the one thing we're not going to do is take any real risk with a 23-year-old player in his position." The Knicks have no hopes of making the playoffs this season, thus further lowering the incentive for Porzingis to get back out there this year. He'll be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him take the entire 2018-19 season off. Wed, Dec 26, 2018 10:51:00 AM

Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is healing well and he will be re-evaluated in mid-February.

He had an evaluation and the team medical staff said Porzingis is making good progress. Once he reaches his rehab benchmarks, he'll be able to advance to no-court team drills. This update means Porzingis won't be playing again until at least after the All-Star break, and it's possible the Knicks still do shut him down for the season. Fri, Dec 21, 2018 04:01:00 PM

The Knicks listed him as questionable to play, but never provided an update before tip-off. He was a DNP-CD in his previous game, so maybe there's something going on behind the scenes. Either way, Frank Ntilikina likely just stole the backup PG job after his performance vs. the Thunder.

Enes Kanter reiterated on Monday that he's not happy with his role on the Knicks.

Kanter was told by coach David Fizdale that he's now the third-string center, but he checked in on Monday vs. the Thunder when the Knicks were losing by 21 points. He also started the half for an injured Luke Kornet (ankle), finishing with 11 points, three boards and one assist in 19 minutes. He said he'll let his agent handle the next steps, but it's pretty clear that a trade or even a buyout could be in his near future. Fantasy owners should continue to hold him while we see how this plays out.

X-rays came back inconclusive on Luke Kornet's left ankle and he is scheduled to undergo an MRI.

Kornet exited Monday's game with the ankle injury, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss at least a few games here. That should result in more minutes for Enes Kanter and Mitchell Robinson, with Robinson potentially moving into the starting group. For now, we'll be considering Kornet doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
